Beautiful area

The apartment was well located and Maria and Mery could not have been any more accommodating and friendly. I would like to note, for any Americans, that many items that come standard in most rentals in the US, ie bath soap, face cloths, paper towels, beach towels, blanket/spread for the bed... do not come with the unit. It was not a problem, I just mention it because had I known, I could have brought some of the items with me to make our first night more comfortable. Fabulous rental and suited our needs perfectly. Thanks!

A Great Stay

We stayed a bit over 2 weeks here and really enjoyed ourselves. Laguito is much quieter than neighboring Boca Grande yet everything you could possibly need is within a 15 minute walk. Several times I walked to Old Town (about 45 minutes) and the local buses are a hoot (though sometimes faster than I'd like). The apartment is very comfortable but on the small side. The second bedroom is tiny but would be good for a child or small adult. I preferred that room as it had a ceiling fan and the sound of the ocean...and I'm a small adult. The owner's representative, Mery, is right next door and was incredibly responsive. We had a small leak under the sink and she had the plumber there within the hour. He was also pleasant, professional and fast. The beach below the apartment is small, the water calmer than the bigger beaches with only a few vendors. Fredy runs the beer and beach chair concession and he's a gem. The building is a little older but has charm and there's a 24 hour doorman. Very, very lovely stay.
